PetAg Complete Nursing Kit contains all the equipment you need to feed newborn animals—including a bottle, several nipples of varying shapes, and a cleaning brush. Perfect for nursing small animals, the bottle features easy-to-see measuring marks on the side so you can see exactly how much you’re giving. The interchangeable nipples are made of flexible, durable latex and silicone that feels like mom’s teat and mimic the natural pumping action needed for babies to feed comfortably. Plus, there are no pre-punched holes in the nipples, allowing for a customized flow for your critter. And to keep things clean, you can sterilize the bottle and nipples in boiling water, and comes with a handy cleaning brush.

Before use make a hole in the nipple using one of the following methods: Cross cut nipple with a razor blade. Using a strong needle or cuticle scissors, enter and exit the tip of the nipple as though you were making a very small stitch or snip, pull the needle out removing a small piece of the nipple. Check flow with water. A steady drip or thin stream should be achieved when a slight pressure is applied to the nipple. If one or more of the animals is ill use a different bottle or feed ill animal last. Wash bottle, cap and nipple with hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly after each feeding session. If animal is too small or weak to nurse, consult your veterinarian.
I'm very upset with this nipple! The end of the nipple is thick and there is no opening in it. I tried using the heated needle three times without success. I then tried using a razor and finally watched a Youtube video about making an "X" cut on the end. When I turned the bottle upside down, even with the X, no formula dripped out, but I couldn't see making the cut even deeper. I seems a huge opening for a baby bottle! Now, I have no proof, but my 4 day old puppy was alive and kicking, gaining weight...when I tried supplementing her food with this bottle. She was dead by evening. I am soooo upset! I feel I killed her with trying to be kind.
This kit is life saving for small kittens. The biggest problem with it is so much work is needed on the nipples. Next the little scrub brush is prone to rust so you will two of them as you have to throw the first one away.
I donated these to a local rescue I help with. They were very happy with them and just in time since kitten season is really bad this year.
Shipped and delivery was quick and items are correct. I am very satisfied with the product I have received and so are the kittens that were dumped off at my door. They are healthy and getting big.
Bottles and syringes okay but all the nipples were old and crumbled up in my kitten's mouth. I had to quickly get it out before he swallowed it. This is unacceptable.
Purchased for our local Humane Society. Kitten season begins.
As a kitten approaches weaning, they'll start to chew on the nipple (ask any queen!) and, sometimes the kitten will chew off and ingest the tip. PetAg's nipples are formulated to break down in the kitten's GI tract, and you'll see cream-colored granules of it come out in Kitty's poo. This safeguards your kitten's life by preventing a dangerous GI blockage. The kit comes with a handy cleaning brush, which removes KMR deposits around the threads and on the interior.
When you bottle feed sometimes day old babies, you need these bottles, Thank you Chewy for suppling them. I have been doing this for 16 years. Lack of sleep is worth seeing them grow up and getting adopted.
All my cat food was piled on top of it & was crushed
Great that this kit comes with different nipple choices and even a cleaning brush, However the nipples are not pre poked and using just a needled didn't seem to work and the kit only comes with one twist on connector for nipple to bottle that doesn't seem to fit snuggly, and bottle little too small and trying to get formula in there and mixed well doesn't work well, even with a funnel.
